I can't believe that this happened... but I was talking to [livejournal.com profile] pekover a while back, when I suggested a J2 AU she could write. We were bouncing ideas back and forth, and then she asked me if I wanted to co-write it with her!

I was very chuffed and said yes, even though I wasn't sure if my writing was really any good. But we went ahead and plotted out the whole thing, wrote up an outline and started writing chapters. I was amazed to find that I was having fun and my writing wasn't too bad (I think!). She helped me beta my sections, and I beta'd hers, and the whole experience has been a ball of fun.

Enough waffling. So here's the first chapter... Feedback would be awesome guys!


Title: Can't Take the Sky Away from Me (1/20ish)
Fandom: CW RPS, with some ideas lifted from Pern (the Firefly title is a red-herring)
Authors: [livejournal.com profile] leodragon1, [livejournal.com profile] pekover
Pairing: Jared/Jensen, some others
Rating: Part 1 PG, eventual NC-17
Warning: Some het (not too graphic); violence, but not graphic either.
Summary: Dragons and their riders have always protected the land, but they have also been used for destruction and war. Can Jensen and Jared's love overcome everything that keeps them apart, and can they find a way to keep another apocalyptic dragon war from occurring?
Cast List: Can't Take the Sky Away from Me Cast

Am I allowed to comment? Sure, I think I am...

(I'm so used to writing our little notes back and forth, it feels a bit weird to be typing something that someone else might see!)

Anyways, yay to us for getting Part 1 done! I think we had fun (mostly - I still harbor some resentment over your callous disregard for all of my "and"s - they were important, each and every one!), and I think it's a good story.

Now, enough chit chat - you're in charge of the first section of the next part, so get writing!

Wow, that's great!! I haven't read it yet, but I'm really happy that you got to write something! I'm used to see your icon in the [livejournal.com profile] spnstoryfinders comm so when I saw it in a different color (I've put the storyfinder comm in grey and then the padackles comm in red, isn't that a very very interesting information? lol), I was all: "Whaaaaat?!!??"

I can't wait to read the first chapter, as soon as I'm done with the work I'm supposed to do today. *is excited*

Aw, thank you! I've been wanting to write fics for a while, but I was just never sure if my writing was up there. But co-writing has been a wonderful exercise and a great motivator. It'll probably help with a couple of other story ideas I've got on the back burner...

Now on to the next section - it's my turn :-P

I'm sure it's great! If it can give you the confidence to write even more, that's even better. =D

Heee, I know, me too! You might see something from me sometimes next month... I just pity my beta because, as I'm a non native English speaker, it's going to be a lot of work for her...

Oooh, I can't wait to read it.

Really, english isn't your first language? Huh, you seem to have it down well! I wouldn't worry.
